Forget 16-hour days. This CEO's secret is self-regulation
Philippa Watson, the former chief executive of online bank UBank, has been named overall winner of this year's Financial Review Women in Leadership Awards, presented by Qantas, for her transformation of a key financial institution and a willingness to take risk and change course.
Watson left UBank at the end of May after she was hired by high-profile philanthropist Nicola Forrest to be the inaugural CEO of Coaxial, her new family office, which takes in a foundation and a venture capital arm.
